Liked: It's a nice hostel, near to the Cathedral, friendly staf, nice restaurants in the street.

23 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Good amount of bathrooms. Lovely terrace. Free breakfast. Activities, good for the solo traveller. Nice building, nice rooms. Lots of common areas. plenty of space to chill out. Good location. Good staff advice.

Disliked: Just that so many of their activities require spending more money. It's all a bit of on-selling. Like 10 euros to come for a night out, good value but it would be nice to meet other guests without shelling out. And more of those free-but-we'll-guilt-you-into-a-donation walking tours. (Not actually run by the hostel though.)

Disliked: not a lot perhaps a bigger kitchen

16 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Really enjoyed the rooftop chill-out area and the social activities planned there such as barbecue dinners, the nice features in the girls' bedroom such as the big mirrors and dressing table, the good location and the bathrooms.

Disliked: Breakfast was included but a poor deal compared to other hostels I've stayed in that are in a similar price range. Staff are helpful enough but not very friendly; on the one hand they do a good job of enforcing "quiet hours" but on the other they're kind of gruff about it.

15 June 2011 catharina would recommend this property

Liked: great location, enjoyed the tours, especially the (free) afternoon walking tour with Daniele (took his advices on restaurants and bars and didn't get dissappointed), and even more the tapas tour great value with drinks and many different wonderful and interesting tapas to fill you up. Good facilities to cook, hang around and airconditioning in the living room as well (nice in the afternoon) as in the bedroom The 5 euro Paella with a lesson and a drink included is fun and good value too.

Disliked: Breakfast time only from 8.30 to 10.30, Some street noise

10 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Interesting layout with two buildings and a sweet terrace! Clean, decent kitchen, great breakfast and dinner options, close to everything, and good value

Disliked: Extremely hot rooms and lots of mosquitos. There is a large fan in each room to relieve one from the Sevilla heat and its great when you´re not sleeping because it is really loud. My tip: get a personal fan to keep you from sleeping in your own sweat or get earplugs and sleep with the massive loud fan on and close the window to prevent yourself from getting eaten at night. This comes from someone who has lived in SE Asia where the heat and mosquitos are intollerable at times...do yourself a dont get eaten/sweat to death at night.

Liked: The location. it had a good location.

Disliked: There are 3 locations for Sevilla Inn. It is a pain if you are not in the main building because you have to either go across the street or walk a few blocks (Yes, one of their locations is a few blocks away from the main building. Lovely after a long day of travelling and lugging around your luggage) to use the wifi, eat breakfast, check out, ask for directions, ANNOYING. And the building we stayed at across the street had 1 bathroom (shower and toilet together) for god knows how many people. When I checked in I didn´t even get a tour. I didn´t even know they had a terrace until the last night. It´s nice but I mean, everyone is old and anti'social anyways so who cares. Also, the 2 day reservation cancellation policy is a trap. We ended up paying for another night and going somewhere else because we were that unhappy. We notified them about 30 or so hours beforehand and they still made us pay. Breakfast consists of toasts and cheap nasty croissants. Basically, if you want to have fun and meet people ...GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
